Half-elf Ranger

In the early morning, a thin mist shrouded the ruins of the devastated Yuanshan Town.

This once noisy town was ravaged by gnolls and fires, leaving only the dried blood and the deepest pains hidden in the hearts of the survivors who left.

Thorne stood on the city wall of Yuanshan Town, looking at the towering mountains of the Dajianken Mountains in the west, the boundless mountains and every peak, as if they were cut by a sharp sword, leaving fresh traces.

It is this mountain range and the vast emerald field that traverses the entire peninsula to the north and south, allowing countless intelligent races to thrive here, and let them fight each other endlessly for the survival space.

“Who will be next?”

Thorne turned to look at the ruins, whispered to himself, and then slowly walked down the steps of the city wall.

The Emerald Wilderness is about to usher in the cold winter, when the snow covers the entire wilderness.

Those humanoid tribes with insufficient food preparation will be greeted by starvation or freezing to death when their food for the winter runs out. These things are all too common in the wasteland.

A cold winter can eliminate most of the old, weak and sick.

So after the Rotten Leaf Moon, the Year-End Moon will be the craziest and bloodiest time in the entire wasteland.

This battle for food can only be stopped by a timely heavy snowfall.

Because the thick snow on the emerald field can almost prevent all creatures from going out, most races can only stay in their own territory and tremble, feeling the power of nature.

Then there will be a period of relative peace, until the next year the snow melts and everything recovers.

Thorne, who spent a cold winter in Fallstown, knows this.

“Morning!”

Andrina stroked her slightly scattered long hair, walked to Thorne and greeted with a smile.

“morning!”

Thorne, who came over, met her gaze and replied softly.

At this time, out of the corner of Anders Lena’s eyes, she noticed that there were scattered corpses on the ground.

Gnolls, ogres, goblins, trolls, etc., most of them were killed by one blow, and there was still suspicion and fear on their hideous faces.

Andrina glanced at Thorne unexpectedly and asked, “These were all people who broke in last night and were killed by you?”

The night in the wilderness is full of crises, and she has heard many players mention it.

Andrina had already made plans to fight after encountering an emergency at night.

Unexpectedly, the night passed unexpectedly very calmly. At this time, she realized that the danger was strangled by Thorne in the cradle.

Thorne nodded slightly, but said nothing.

Most of these humanoids were following the traces of the smell of blood, broke into this place, and were attacked to death by him who was hiding in the dark.

During this period, a group of more than 20 dire wolves was also attracted.

Thorne didn’t show up to provoke them, though.

And these simple-minded beasts just sat around the corpse and left soon after they were full.

“When you’re ready, let’s get ready to go. We can reach Twilight Town before dusk.” Thorne noticed that Trundle came over after he was ready, so he said to Andrina.

“Let’s go then.” Anderina nodded gently.

…

Most of the day’s rush time passed like this.

But compared to the three of Thorne, they did not go very smoothly.

puff!

Thorne jumped violently, the long sword in his hand flashed a cold light, the furry head of the goblin bear rose into the sky, and the blood spurting from the chest cavity looked extraordinarily strange under the refraction of the sun.

bump!

The headless corpse covered in blood fell to the ground. The blood immediately soaked through the withered weeds and soft soil, and the strong smell of blood permeated the wind.

Thorne held a long sword, his eyes in the hood exuded a cold light, staring coldly at a dozen shivering goblins not far away, and then slowly approached step by step.

With several leading goblins killed by Thorne, the morale of this group of goblins has been dangling on the verge of collapse!

bang!

Finally, one of the goblins with trembling legs couldn’t bear the heavy pressure and lost his will to fight in an instant. I saw him throw away the weapon in his hand, let out a strange scream, and ran away.

The impact of the first goblin that escaped on the remaining goblins immediately formed a chain reaction, and the other goblins followed suit, burrowing into the grass, bushes, and woods, and soon disappeared.

Thorne looked at the traces of the goblin’s escape, and didn’t mean to chase, but turned and walked towards Trundle.

“The journey from Talan Village to Yuanshan Town was very quiet, and I never met so many monsters. How come when I left Yuanshan Town, these goblins and kobolds are as numerous as weeds on the roadside, and they are very annoying.”

Derundel sat on the grass, pulled out the last arrow stuck in his shoulder, and said to Thorne, and immediately filled a bottle of stamina recovery potion after speaking.

“The gnolls in the Great Sword Mark Mountains failed to attack Winter City, and their strength was greatly damaged. Then they were resisted and expelled by various races in the depths of the mountain, mainly the hill giants, resulting in the gathering of people in the far mountain town closest to the mountain range. A large number of remnants of gnolls.

In order not to be caught by the gnolls as food and cannon fodder, other weak races naturally gathered desperately to Twilight Town. “

Thorne looked at the goblin corpses scattered on the ground, analyzed it, and explained.

“But there are very few gnolls found along the way. Where did these gnolls go after they captured Yuanshan Town?” Andrina came over and asked her doubts.

“There are two options, either they attack back again and continue to compete with the hill giants for the lost territory, or they turn around and attack Twilight Town, which is the closest to Far Mountain Town.”

Thorne looked in the direction of Twilight Town and said solemnly.

From the fact that these weak races such as goblin kobolds have gathered in Far Mountain Town again, Thorne can judge that those gnolls are probably attacking Twilight Town.

“Then…will Twilight Town be captured by the gnolls again?” Andrina asked again subconsciously.

“It shouldn’t be. Twilight Town is the strongest town among all players in the Emerald Wilderness. Just the city wall with a height of more than 12 meters, the gnolls have nothing to do with them.”

Thorne shook his head and said his guess:

“With the defense of Twilight Town, it is indeed difficult to be captured, but if the gnolls just surround Twilight Town and don’t go to attack the city desperately, they will be exhausted sooner or later.”

Gnolls can eat goblins, kobolds, and even their own people.

Do humans dare to eat these foods?

“Twilight Town was jointly established by many real local tyrant players, and it has also gathered all the players who were scattered nearby. It can be said to be rich and powerful, and it will not be so easily consumed.”

Andrina retorted.

“I hope so, when the money is always spent, the only thing you can really rely on is your own hard power. After all, many one-time strategic magic scrolls and other items are very expensive, and they always start with a few thousand gold coins.

Money can indeed solve a lot of problems, but now players almost have no fixed income, and they dare not even mine the minerals found nearby, which is destined to spend less and less money. “

Thorne didn’t care much and said that it didn’t matter to him whether Twilight Town would fall. What he was most worried about was whether it would affect the northernmost waterfall town.

He has been away from Pushang Town for nearly half a year, no matter what, it’s enough to go out to relax, it’s time to go back and have a look.

“Let’s go as soon as you have a rest. The smell of blood here is too heavy, and other predators will soon be attracted.” Thorne said when he saw that Trundle had recovered from the wound.

“Then what if Twilight Town is captured?” Andrina asked with some concern as she walked to Thorne and ran alongside him.

“What? Are you regretting coming here? Don’t worry, it’s still impossible with the remnants of the gnolls now, it’s just a question of how much to lose.”

Thorne turned his head to look at Anderina and smiled, and then comforted.

“I have nothing to regret or regret, I just don’t want to leave any regrets in my life in this world. Since I chose this path, I will never look back.”

Andrina felt relieved after hearing this, and then looked at the surrounding scenery and sighed slightly.
